Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854; Anon. Hymnal: Glory and Praise (3rd. ed.) #475 (2015) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Shepherd of souls, refresh and bless Lyrics: 1 Shepherd of souls, refresh and bless
Your chosen pilgrim flock
With manna in the wilderness,
With water from the rock.
2 We would not live by bread alone,
But by your word of grace,
In strength of which we travel on
To our abiding place.
3 Be known to us in breaking bread,
But do not then depart;
Savior, abide with us, and spread
Your table in our heart.
4 Lord, sup with us in love divine;
Your body and your blood,
That living bread, that heav'nly wine,
Be our immortal food.
